Hello,
I am attempting to use Galaxy to calculate the mean sequence read
length and identify the range of read lengths for my 454 data. The
data has already been organized and sorted by species. The format of
the data is as follows:
etc...for each species
I have attempted to use the "Summary Statistics" button, however it
appears to only be for numerical data and not sequence data. Is this
tool/task available
via Galaxy?
Thank you,

That was probably FASTA format (but mangled in the email).
Use the "Compute sequence length" tool to compute the read lengths,
and then you should be able to compute some statistics about the
lengths.
